Our client is a powerhouse of technical innovation, operating at the sharp end of complex systems integration and digital transformation. They aren't just another IT provider; they act as the architectural backbone for organisations that handle some of the most critical and sensitive data in the UK. By blending high-level consultancy with hands-on engineering excellence, they solve the "unsolvable" problems for elite-tier customers. If you want to work for a firm that is small enough to remain agile and personal, yet sophisticated enough to lead multi-million-pound technical roadmaps in the defence and security sectors, this is the place to be.

- Design and deployment of Windows Server and Desktop environments using MDT and SCCM.
- Executing Windows Server OS and Active Directory domain migrations and version uplifts.
- Defining and troubleshooting complex Microsoft AD Group Policies.
- Implementing and configuring SAN storage and managing hypervisor suite uplifts (VMware).
